“It’s a very telling situation and it shows the length the BDS movement will go to target this company that employees hundreds of Palestinians,” Herzberg said. “The anti-Israel campaign is so strong, that they’re more anti-Israel than pro-Palestine.”

“I’m not surprised about this from the BDS movement, which has become very extreme with their views. The fact that Oxfam would align themselves with that movement is highly disturbing and shocking.”

“Oxfam’s humanitarian mission is to improve the economic situation of Palestinians, so why they wouldn’t be in favor of employment for Palestinians is pretty surprising. If this organization wants to have a stronger reputation why would it align itself with these extreme activists who are so outside the mainstream?”

“I can understand it from Scarlett Johansson’s perspective, there are different ways to frame the conflict and people can disagree. But Oxfam not willing to stand up for her, and to not be associated with them [BDS] anymore, not willing to take a stand against the BDS movement, after their organization’s history, is surprising.”
